Hey guys, Do anyone knows how to add KMP as a module in existing Android app? I want to keep KMP module as a separate repository. thanks

Since you have an Android app, it will allow only android dependency from KMP module. So simply add dependency in android app like implementation(“com.librarylibrary android1.0.0”)

[Azim Ansari]

Important part is -android here

A small addition to the previous comment:
You can build aar from kmp repository and import in android repository in any preferred way

[Shoaib khalid]

Thanks @Azim Ansari, i'll look into that.

@Dmitry Stakhov i want to connect kmp repository locally to check my changes with android/ios instantly. I've already tried aar while integrating flutter into my android app, that's was so scary.

[Dmitry Stakhov]

You can publish aar to maven local and consume it from your android project by adding mavenLocal block to repositories in your Gradle build file

@Dmitry Stakhov interesting, let me look into that as well.

@Shoaib khalid Oh! If you want to include it as local project then also no problem.
Just include KMP project from a custom path in settings.gradle file

include(":mylib")
project(":mylib").projectDir = File("/absolute/path/to/your/kmp/shared")

Then in Android native add local project dependency

implementation(project(":mylib"))

Note: This will include all platform modules but Android app can access only androidMain and common code
